Interesting… actually, I wonder what happened to everybody…. the fact that it’s a movie aside.
Supposedly the Vichy officers shut down the cafe, and Rick and Louis were headed to join the free French settlement, further south.
But it was almost impossible to leave Casablanca… so did they make it?
I would imagine if they did escape, the cafe would reopen under Vichy or Nazi control.
Maybe Sam, if they would pay him, and all those refugees would resume their lives there, or maybe Sam would open his own place, where they’d all hang out.
Watched the foreman at work do that with a lift truck…forwards, not backwards. He picked up a load too heavy for his truck, backed away from the flatbed, hit a small bump and went forward on his forks, the back end of the lift way up in the air. No one had cell phones back then so no photos, but it really looked like a slow-motion movie. (No one was hurt…the lumber was in pretty bad shape from hitting the ground.)
By 1905, the Bowery was already a place where you could find all manner of disreputable attractions… burlesque houses, like the one pictured, sleazy hotels, pawn shops and prostitutes. It was also a center for gay bars and gay nightlife, and for a street gang called the Bowery B-boys.
It was a slum, but wasn’t yet the really down and out skid row it became during the depression and later.
I read that by the 1980s, it started becoming gentrified… like almost any available square inch of Manhattan…. and now is quite expensive.
When the weather gets cool in the evening quickly, or a front passes through, sometimes a single bee will be left sitting on a flower unable to move. In the morning, simply go out and make a “warming cup” with your hands around the bee and flower. When the bee starts buzzing, open your hand and the bee will fly back to the hive to finish getting warm, and restock energy.
Well, I was presuming that it was only the ice cream combinations and their order that counted… Otherwise it would totally confuse the issue that there’s only one pair of sunglasses and one of each hat, and the penguins themselves don’t match.
Then I discovered that the file is called “unique ice cream”, which seems to mean that’s correct.
So… If its only the ice cream cone that’s meant to be one of a kind…
Lily Tomlin sang that song as a bit on Saturday Night Live…
Kinda weird to have a video with only her voice, when you can hear the audience laughing at something you can’t see.
I looked for a video that showed her performance, but apparently it’s not on YouTube. I did find it on Vimeo. I had to give them my email address to watch videos… Obviously, it’s up to you whether that’s acceptable.
Anyway, if you don’t watch it… the audience is mostly laughing cos the band guys are all dressed as female nurses… a play on infirmary, though in the song, the actual St James Infirmary was a morgue.
I wasn’t sure whether a Vimeo video would display here, or whether other people could see it.
Last night it was only a link for me; today it’s showing like a YouTube one, and I can play it on this page.
But I still don’t know whether the embedded version is working for everybody else, or it’s still a link to the Vimeo site, with a request for your email address.

One question: What became of Sam when Rick and Louis walked off into the mist?

Poor baby.

Really?
Wikipedia says yes.
He’s the Liberace of mice!
Mighty Mouse, Supermouse, now Tiger Mouse!
He’s golden and wavy… If he weren’t so soft, I’d say his name should be Ruffles, like a potato chip.

“That can’t be right.”
You kinda gotta wonder what’s in those boxes…. or was in them, depending on how squishable it was before it got squished.
Those trucks tend to be nose heavy so going over backward is something else.
Shouda loaded those gold bars on the bottom…

Think maybe the Secret Service was a little on edge that day?
Maybe not so much then as they would be now.
Five presidents (one sitting, four ex) with their first ladies at the funeral of Richard Nixon, in April, 1994.

Probably thinking “don’t do it, dude…get up now…oh no…too late…”
the text that came with it said:
the guy in the back is thinking that he’s going to
hear about this the rest of the night
I’ve seen that look.
he is thinking: ‘what a dork!’
The Bowery- 1905
By 1905, the Bowery was already a place where you could find all manner of disreputable attractions… burlesque houses, like the one pictured, sleazy hotels, pawn shops and prostitutes. It was also a center for gay bars and gay nightlife, and for a street gang called the Bowery B-boys.
It was a slum, but wasn’t yet the really down and out skid row it became during the depression and later.
I read that by the 1980s, it started becoming gentrified… like almost any available square inch of Manhattan…. and now is quite expensive.

A sad waste… those onions look delicious!
I hope the person who did this didn’t stiff the server for a tip .
but I’ll bet they did
Yeah, cos they’ll blame the server…. when it was probably somebody in the kitchen who ignored the instruction.

Your problem is that it wasn’t the moon.
Lucky it wasn’t barbed wire… or electrified!
her jumping over the moon attempt produced similar results.

Ain’t that the bees’ knees.
When the weather gets cool in the evening quickly, or a front passes through, sometimes a single bee will be left sitting on a flower unable to move. In the morning, simply go out and make a “warming cup” with your hands around the bee and flower. When the bee starts buzzing, open your hand and the bee will fly back to the hive to finish getting warm, and restock energy.
Around here the bees disappear long before the evening gets cool.
Our warmest time of day is about 2pm…. as soon as it drops a few degrees… Buh-bye. I’ve rarely seen one later.
Well, except for the yellowjackets, which aren’t bees anyway… and no way am I warming up one of those.
Sadly, our honeybee population is way down.
Cute! Didn’t know that.
which one doesn’t have a match? (no, it’s not the one with the lighter)
Do the eyes (open, closed, sunglasses) count? Dimples? Headgear?
Well, I was presuming that it was only the ice cream combinations and their order that counted… Otherwise it would totally confuse the issue that there’s only one pair of sunglasses and one of each hat, and the penguins themselves don’t match.
Then I discovered that the file is called “unique ice cream”, which seems to mean that’s correct.
So… If its only the ice cream cone that’s meant to be one of a kind…
Anybody?
Agree.
.
So if they are only serving drinks, then it’s okay to smoke out there?
FWIW I take it that way.
..
Bark’im, Dano.

This time I knew what was coming!

Well, maybe it was the other dog…. the one who was jealous.

Hope this works:
thanks. I would have posted that if I’d found it

Works nicely here.
Thanks
Worked for me as well in Mass. Windows & Firefox.
Thanks
“Lilly Sings the Blues” The white gardenia was a nice touch!
Thanks
The picture of the Bowery reminded me that I keep forgetting to post something else that goes with all the images we’ve had of Times Square.
Here it is in the 1860s or 70s (no more specific date was given.)
